Overloaded F-POT


Overload

Oh my goodness!!! My F-POT is extremely overloaded. I am brain-dead this evening after the first full day of a technical fundamentals class. We are migrating our clinical system database to a new operating system. I am in class this week. Terse language does not bide well with me. I like verbose so my mind has to adjust to commands like "mkdir" instead of "make directory". You think, since I can't type, I'd welcome it but my mind likes completely spelled out words instead of shortcuts. That is why I hate text messages. Except now you are probably asking the meaning of F-POT. Well, my dearest friend Bella Sinclair explains the meaning of F-POT.
.
This week, I can't hang around much. I need to make room in my brain for more lectures and laboratory exercises. I have a whole week of these classes. I need to rest. Then next week I need to decompress before I have another bundle implementation. It never ends, still I am grateful for work.
.
Also, I have been cleaning house. Hestia has taken possession of Epsilon II and she has been begging me to organize the house. I spent two days on the living room alone. It's amazing, we now have room to tango. Epsilon II helped me. We finally put away her dollhouse, it took three hours to dismantle it. It's a good thing I kept the assembly instructions. She also found so many books (they were always there) that made her remark "I just need to be home-schooled. All I have to do is read all these books." Argh! So many books indeed but I want to hang on to them. Who for example would get rid of Nicholas Copernicus's "On The Revolution Of The Heavenly Spheres" or Martin Luther's "Three Treatises". Yes, she can probably stay at home and educate herself on US government by reading the Federalist Papers and the writings of Thomas Jefferson, brush up on literature by reading Shakespeare and all the great literary authors in gold trimmed books where a special page is dedicated to the choice of the font and the fabric on the cover? Yes, I love books. I even have a book about books! Yet, after cleaning, I was exhausted that the only book I can afford to open as I relaxed was a biography of John Muir and even then, I concentrated on the photographs. Epsilon II found a book that excited her so much, a geography book titled "Our World Today" published in 1932, devoid of political correctness and revisionist history. She has a stack of books beside her bed now and yesterday she started doing Math exercises after she found a workbook. In the meantime I found the book that Epsilon I swore he returned or never took home in 8th grade. I have a $54.00 bill from his high school registrar for the book. See, it pays to clean!
.
Oh I almost forgot. Yes. above is the modified drawing seen on my previous post. There were too many white spaces. Ah "white space". We also learned about that today. Oh! If you can make it out, something happened to Daisy this weekend. And another thing, I terribly miss Bella Sinclair.

Oh Ces Your poor F-POT. Thank you for the chuckle, such a wonderful reminder of a great night. I want more of that. I miss it so much. But I am grateful for what I had.

Your picture gets more and more finished and I thought it was already.
Take care, I miss you.
Love and hugs.

Baino said...

Who is Hestia? Ah think of the end of it. Two weeks and you can relax! Miss you to!

Baino said...

acshuylly miss you 'too'

Arija said...

Of course you miss Bella and that accounts for at least half your problems and your cleaning spree instead of drawing and resting your soul you go and exhaust your body even more. On top of that, Remee has had the most terrible time.

Tessa said...

Extraordinarily exceptional. You continue to amaze and delight and thrill with everything you do...whether it be your writing, your poetry, your gasp-of-awe-inducing drawings or your shriek-of-wonderment-inducing oils.

PS. Please, who is the lady who is collecting little items to send to Bella? I need to speak with her.

Diana Evans said...

Renee said...

Holy shit Ces. That is incredible.

I can't even imagine doing something like that.

It is fucking brilliant.

Love to you, I miss Bella too.

I also love your header but this picture is a masterpiece.

Love Renee xoxo

mkdir, I remember that from my techie days, ages ago. That is a pretty ancient version of an operating system that you are using seems to me.

OT: you asked me how I get women to pose for me.
Charm I guess. The girls trust me.
There is a form of mutual respect.
I like that.

Ces said...

I know what you mean Marie. Just be grateful for what we had I think.

Hello Baino, Hestia is the Greek Goddess of the Hearth. She keeps the home fire burning. Every home is dedicated to Hestia. She makes one's home a sanctuary. Hestia does not reside in messy chaotic places. I pay homage to Hestia. She is one of those quiet goddesses, unlike Hera.

Ces said...

Arija, I understand your point but I am drawing actually, everyday in fact, that may be the reason why I am so stretched in time - I can't stop drawing - I am obssessed with drawing! I am also really busy at work, a lot of demands and timelines but I consider work a positive influence in my life. I could use a vacation and I promise to sleep then. BTW, I really don't miss Bella Sinclair that much, just a whole lot and everytime I blog. Hahaha!

Ces said...

Hello Tessa, it is Aimee of Artsyville. I have her linked on my sidebar. Thank you Tessa. I am so glad to see you here once again.

Hello Tango dancer Diana Evans!!! I can hear the delight in your comment. I am smiling so wide just reading your comment. I am so happy for you!!!


Hello sweetheart, Renee. Well! Thank you.

Pieterbie, it is Unix and yes, I understand your rapport with the ladies.

Renee said...

You are beautiful Ces. You are all heart and zip.

I love you.

Love Renee xoxo

Silke said...

I had to laugh about the F-POT! I hope it has cooled down since your last post... With all you have going on, you make time to come to my blog. Thank you!!! Your drawing is brilliant as ever! I am so in awe of your drawing skills!! And your cleaning spree is inspiring me to get off the computer and start on our house. Well, maybe in a little while... Love, Silke

Silke said...

Hi! Thanks for your comment - I just had to check on your Daisy! Did this toad eating, ear infection incident happen just now? I hope not and that she's all better already! I know what you mean about the cost of the vet when they are sick! We went through that with one of our old dogs when she got sick. Not fun in any way! But when are healthy and happy, they are just the best, aren't they?!? Love, Silke

Renee said...

Ces in my blessed life, I consider you one of the blessings.

Love you dear one.

Love Renee xoxo

Bimbimbie said...

Tsup*!* my eyes are too tired, what happened to little Daisy ... I just made out "she came home"

Tessa said...

That AVO! God, Ces, I could just reach in and eat that silky smooth fruit flesh. Yum.

Thank you for Aimee's link.

Renee said...

Ces, that avocado looks good enough to eat.

In Canada you are allowed to marry a couple once in your life and my neice asked me last year if I would marry her (Shelly's daughter).

So now I cannot marry anyone again unless I took a marriage registrant course.

It was fun.

Love Renee xoxo

Hi, Great illustration...I'm seeing the texture as words. -Jayne

Tessa said...

Had to come back and gaze at the avo and your paintings and drawings again. They are so lovely..and sometimes funny...that they make me feel all floaty and light and really rather happy, y'know?

I'm so pleased that Hestia is in our house - I like her very much. Thank you for sending her over, Ces.

Hope you have a happy and RELAXING weekend. Big jet propelled hug to you.
